Why GPL ?

1. Upstream

LLaMa using GPL, I have to follow its license.

2. A Story

In 2022, we plan to make megflow public, I have spent 2 or 3 weeks to fullfill FFmpeg License Compliance Checklist.

At that time I thought the GPL was like a contagious cancer, until ..

  • A few months ago, I released deploee, but after only 4 days, I suffered a database attack. Well, this is just a free public service.
  • Days ago, an employee of a large company deleted the commit history of a open source repo, and then sold it in his own community. After being exposed, he pretended to be a victim and yelled "you invaded my privacy and affected my work like this".

..

I have nothing against commercial companies using my code, they create jobs. It's just that some people shows no respect for the author of the code.

So I decided to support GPL.
